India: Revised Guidelines for Container Detention Freetime

$

0

In view of the recent outbreak of COVID-19, the Government of India has implemented several measures to ensure the safety of the population, which includes a nationwide lockdown. We are closely monitoring the situation, and adapting our operating procedures to be in line with this dynamic situation.

We understand that this lockdown has a cascading effect on the timely handling of import and export containers and respective clearance processes, and as your trusted partner during this time of crisis; we shall extend the freetime as follows:

  • Any container accruing detention for the period from March 22, 2020 until April 14, 2020 (both days inclusive) will be exempt from detention. This pertains ONLY to carrier equipment detention.

Conditions apply as follows:

  • This applies ONLY to cargo discharged (import) and empties picked up for export, post and inclusive of March 22, 2020
  • This applies ONLY to cargo cleared and waiver requested within April

This is a manual process and will not reflect automatically in the invoice. In case you are eligible for a waiver, please send us a waiver request on RMEMINIMPORTS@hlag.com

Below is an example, which demonstrate how this will work:

Example: If a container discharged on March 23, 2020 having 7 days contractual free time.
As per the revised guidelines, the days from March 30, 2020 until April 14, 2020 are eligible for waiver of detention for that period. Detention charges will be applicable from April 15, 2020.

We urge you to arrange the timely movement of your import and export containers to minimize the potential costs as well as to ease the congestion and capacity issues that could take place at various ICD’s, CFS’ and terminals.

We would like to give you an update on the current situation in Manila. Due to lock-down that has been imposed in the Philippines as a result of the Covid 19 outbreak, this has led to operational restrictions for reefer cargo bound to Manila due to lack of reefer plugs.

Unfortunately, due to the aforementioned all related inbound operations as well as container pickup activities have been severely impacted and as a result reefer plugs are totally utilized. We anticipate that this situation, which is beyond Hapag-Lloyd’s control, will continue for the upcoming weeks.

Given the above situation, we can offer the following options related to your cargo:

(1) Amend delivery to Subic Bay or Batangas where consignee’s can take delivery Or,
(2) Divert your reefer containers to another port / destination Or,
(3) Return your reefer containers back to origin

Please note that for all options, all additional costs, risks and liabilities related to the storage or movement of the cargo after discharge will be for the account of the cargo owner.

We kindly ask for you to provide us with written confirmation of your preferred choice for taking delivery of the cargo at your earliest convenience in order for us to initiate the necessary arrangements.

We regret the inconvenience that these circumstances may cause.

The terms of this Notice shall be read in conjunction with and without prejudice to Hapag-Lloyd’s Bill of Lading / Sea Waybill terms and conditions and the Hapag-Lloyd tariff applicable thereto.
